Always observe basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury when using power tools. Read and understand all instructions before operation.

• Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Electrical Safety: Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Never modify the plug in any way.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating noisy tools. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry. Secure long hair.
• Tool Use and Care: Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. Disconnect the battery pack from the tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing tools. Store idle tools out of the reach of children.
• Battery Pack Use and Care: Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Do not use battery packs or tools that are damaged or modified. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature.

3. Setup

3.1 Battery Charging

1. Insert the PWR Core 12 Lithium Battery into the Standard Charger. Ensure it clicks into place.
2. Plug the charger into a standard electrical outlet. The indicator light on the charger will show the charging status.
3. Once fully charged, remove the battery from the charger.

The 2.0Ah Lithium batteries feature a green LED fuel gauge to display the battery charge level.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Cordless Drill Driver Operation

1. Speed Selection: Use the speed selector switch (typically on top of the drill) to choose between low speed (0-450 RPM) for high torque applications like driving screws, and high speed (0-1700 RPM) for drilling.
2. Clutch Settings: Rotate the clutch ring to select the desired torque setting (1-17) for driving screws. Use the drill icon setting for drilling applications to prevent the clutch from slipping.
3. Trigger Operation: Squeeze the variable speed trigger switch to start the drill. The speed increases with trigger pressure.

3. Halo Light: The Halo Light provides 5x brighter illumination than average LEDs, enhancing visibility in dimly lit work areas.
4. Application: The 3.6-degree oscillating tool angle allows for faster cutting speeds. Apply gentle pressure and let the tool do the work.

4.3 Bluetooth Speaker Operation

1. Power On/Off: Press the power button on the speaker to turn it on or off.
2. Bluetooth Connection: After pairing (see Setup), the speaker will automatically connect to the last paired device when powered on. The Bluetooth LED indicator confirms connection.
